On this site’s former life, a long, long, loooong time ago, I ran a “deserted island” series that featured lists of games that I’d want to have if I were to get stuck on an abandoned isle with any given console of the time. Since that series ended with the Xbox 360/PS3, I’ve since considered…

The Horror That Surrounds: We Don’t Go To Vault 22
Despite being almost comedic a lot of the time, the Fallout universe nonetheless hosts more than a few downright creepy locations. Fallout 3’s Vault 108 and its legion of Garys is one. Basically the entirety of Point Lookout is another, and you could say The Sierra Madre in Fallout: New Vegas thanks to its combination…
Unforgettable: “The Game was Rigged from the Start”
Unsurprisingly, Fallout, in it’s now varied forms, has taken up a good chunk of my attention lately. Not only am I’m continuing a new journey through the Commonwealth in Fallout 4, but I’m nearing the end of the TV show, and I’ve been watching playthroughs of first two Fallout games. They aren’t my cup of…
Getting Back To It: Re-Discovering Fallout 3’s Capital Watesland
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a “Getting Back To It” entry. In fact, I think the last one was about a year ago now. What can I say, I haven’t really been sitting on a lot of games. That said though, there is actually one game that I’ve been meaning to get…
The Outer Worlds is the Fallout: New Vegas Sequel I’ve Always Wanted
Two of my favorite games from the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii generation of games are Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. I’d never played anything like them before, and they captured my attention immediately with their large worlds filled with intriguing quests and witty writing. The presentation was a bit wonky and the bugs were numerous, but…
Top 5: Favorite Open-World Games
As much as I enjoyed my first trek through Mass Effect: Andromeda, the game left me a bit soured with regard to open-world games. Surely the feeling is only temporary, but as I search for something to take its place that’s not Borderlands 2 (so fun!), I find myself avoiding anything that resembles an open-world…
What’s the glitchiest game you’ve ever played?
Until recently, my answer to this question would have been Saints Row 2. I played the PC port of the game on Steam, and it contained its share of problematic glitches. In fact, more than once I found the game to be completely unplayable. Worst was when the screen would randomly blackout in the middle…
Ruling the Desert in Fallout: New Vegas
With the arrival of Fallout 4 in late 2015, I figured it was high time I get myself a piece of all that post-apocalyptic action that had been capturing everyone’s attention. And things started out well enough. I created my character, experienced the horror of nuclear annihilation (fun!), and started my new life on the…
